    China crying when the US does the same thing in return. Why does the CCP act so childish ?

    No really why ? They are actively using exported digital and electronics goods to spy on everyone. They try to catch political dissidents outside their borders, spy on several government infrastructures and try to instigate a new form of colonialism in Africa, so what exactly are they crying about ?

    I really despise these hypocrites.

      This is a bizarre reply. What would be the adult response for China after discovering cyber attacks carried out by the US government?

        Their whole political identity is being against the US. Other than that, a more "adult" response would be to not immediately accuse the US of everything bad that happened. Another problem with the CCP is that they refuse to say the truth when it isn't convenient to them, they are not transparent at all on their investigations and sources.

          From what I read, it seems like they took over a year to investigate the cyber attack before making their conclusions public.

          Also I thought the party line was communism, not anti-Americanism.

          To be honest, this here doesn't seem that out-of-place in terms of how a sovereign nation would respond to a cyber attack by another sovereign nation.

        colonialism is when you build bridges and train stations xigma-male

        non-colonialism is when you have 50+ military bases scattered across a foreign continent and keep all their cash in your banks and don't allow them to even withdraw it and you assassinate the last 10 democratically elected leaders who tried to change this arrangement nato-cool

          But you see, bridges and train stations are clearly racist because they're built by Chinese people on time and on budget.

      This, except its the other way around. The amount of American crying about cyberattacks is crazy given the amount of evidence they have provided.

      Chinese foreign policy has rarely deviated from moderate, trade-oriented and relatively apolitical over the past few decades. I think the massive allocation of US taxpayer funds toward negative coverage of China has swayed your opinion to the most hawkish extreme. None of these accusations really exist outside of the anglosphere and HK/Taiwan based Sinophone disinfo networks, however most of them are widely acknowledged as crimes that the US has committed in the very recent past in some capacity.

        Taiwanese media wasn't even that dedicated to Chinese disinformation up until like 2016 or whatever.

        Relations were normalizing across the strait smh.

      China does not take an interest in spying on the average westerner.
